Accused Killer of Easton Parents May Consider Plea Deal: Report

EASTON, CT — A Bridgeport man charged with killing his Easton parents after they threatened to cut him out of their wills has been given another extension to decide whether to take a plea deal offered by the state, according to CBS News. Kyle Navin was in state court in Bridgeport on Thursday and has one month to decide whether or not to take the plea deal.

Navin has pleaded not guilty to murdering his parents, Jeffrey and Jeanette Navin, in October 2015 and has been incarcerated on $2.5 million bail since his arrest.

His girlfriend, Jennifer Valiante, also is detained on $2 million bail and denies that she was involved in conspiring with Navin in the double murder.

Navin's girlfriend and former Staples High School classmate, Jennifer Valiante, 31, is charged with conspiracy to commit murder and hindering prosecution for helping him plan and cover-up the death of his parents. Valiante has a $2 million bond and is scheduled to be in court Wednesday.
